Most of the islands in Wondama Bay Regency are surrounded by coral reef that is teeming with rich marine life. Rasiei, the capital of Wondama Bay, is located at the foot of the Wandammen (Wondiboy) Mountains which are covered by pristine tropical rainforest. The coral reef and tropical rainforest have become important tourist attractions in this regency. The Department of Tourism and Culture of Wondama Bay Regency, in cooperation with the Indonesian Tourist Guide Association, has launched a website called Wondama Tourism to attract visitors to the regency.
